Going out tonight with my new running club, no sure of the distance to be honest, may just go for the basic 5 miler.

The temperature is in the minus figures in England tonight, so I didnt go out for my 5 miler with my club.

Instead I went to the gym and ran 5 miles on the dreadmill. But that still counts doesnt it??

Yeah it counts, but its the easy way out ... (yeah I know, easy for a Floridian to say, aye?)

I'm doing a little drive by....

I did 7.3 miles on Saturday!! WOOHOO

Today I did 7K in 54 minutes. I'm getting better.

I signed up to run the 5K at the Gasparilla Distance Classic. A guy I work with who is just getting back to running (he had plantar fascitas (sp)) is going to run with me if his doctor gives the ok. Otherwise, it's all me.

WOOT WOOT JOY!! That's awesome about Gasparilla! I plan to do the 1/2 marathon with DD on the 18th. Goodluck to you! Gasparilla 2004 was my very first 5k .. I'll never forget it .. I came in like the TORTOISE back then .. 45 minutes! Amazing when I think back on it now .. in October I did a 5k in 30:36!!

Yes, even for us "gray mares" .. it is possible to improve!

HAVE FUN!!

Oh... it would have been totally much cooler if it was the same day at least...

Re: Cool Running for the Week of January 21, 2007

Yes it would be nice if it were all on the same day, although it would be crowded! The 5k attracts several thousand as does the 15k ..

Its a fun fun weekend!

I've been running on Bayshore (where the Gasparilla classic is held) the last couple of weeks during lunch and after work. It's been really nice.
